| 20090322884 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR READING GAUGES AND OTHER VISUAL INDICATORS IN A PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEM OR OTHER DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM - A portable apparatus includes a camera configured to capture images of multiple visual indicators. Each visual indicator, such as a gauge or meter, includes a display configured to present a reading. The portable apparatus also includes a recording device configured to store and/or transmit information associated with the captured images of the visual indicators. The camera and/or the recording device could be configured to identify, using the images, the readings presented on the displays of the visual indicators, and the information associated with the captured images could include the readings. Also, the camera could be configured to be mounted on each visual indicator in order to capture one or more images of the visual indicator's display and to be removed from the visual indicator after the one or more images are captured. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20090202975 | VIRTUAL BLASTING SYSTEM FOR REMOVAL OF COATING AND/OR RUST FROM A VIRTUAL SURFACE - A computer simulation and virtual reality system simulates the use of a blasting nozzle to remove one or more coatings and/or rust from a virtual surface. The user operates an electronic controller in the form of a blasting nozzle that outputs a signal indicating whether the blasting nozzle controller is in an “on” position or in an “off” position. The system also has a motion tracking system that tracks the position and orientation of the blasting nozzle controller with respect to the virtual surface defined on the display screen. Simulation software in a computer generates virtual blast pattern data, and the removal of the virtual coating(s) and/or rust image from the virtual surface is displayed in real time on the display screen. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20100077959 | AIRLESS SPRAY GUN VIRTUAL COATINGS APPLICATION SYSTEM - A virtual coatings application system realistically simulates airless spray painting. The system generally includes a display screen on which is defined a virtual surface that is intended to be virtually painted or coated by the user. The user operates the instrumented airless spray gun controller which is instrumented with a tracking device and an electronic on/off switch for the trigger. The system also has a motion tracking system that tracks the position and orientation of the airless spray gun controller with respect to the virtual surface defined on the display screen. Simulation software generates virtual spray pattern data in response to the setup parameters and the position and orientation of the airless spray gun controller with respect to the virtual surface. Virtual spray pattern images are displayed in real time on the display screen in accordance with the accumulation of virtual spray pattern data at each location on the virtual surface. The primary purpose of the system is to enhance training. In addition to providing virtual painting of a part, the system also provides for virtual practice sessions in which the user can test setup parameters by painting virtual practice paper. | 04-01-2010 |

| 20100298672 | METHODS FOR EVALUATING A SUBJECT USING DATA ASSOCIATED WITH A FLUORESCENT ANALYTE - Methods, systems, devices and computer program product include: (i) administering a fluorescent analyte to a subject; (ii) repetitively emitting excitation light from a sensor over a desired monitoring period; (iii) detecting fluorescence intensity in response to the excitation light using the sensor that outputs the excitation light; and (iv) using data associated with the detected fluorescence intensity to perform at least one of: (a) calculate the concentration or dose of the analyte received proximate to the sensor site; (b) evaluate the pharmacodynamic or pharmacokinetic activity of the fluorescent analyte; (c) confirm Ab attachment to a tumor site; (d) monitor a non-target site to confirm it is not unduly affected by a therapy; (e) monitor for changes in cellular properties; (f) use the calculated dose or concentration data to adjust or customize a therapeutic amount of the analyte administered to the subject; (g) confirm micelle concentration at a target site and then stimulate toxin release based on the confirmation; and (h) monitor for the expression of a protein produced from a gene therapy modification. | 11-25-2010 |
